Red light in back of xbox 1

How old is the console? And also 1 red light wil display and an on screen msg will appear. 2 red lights means the console is overheating. 3 red light is a hardware error and 4 red light only exist on the really old consoles (manufatured in late 2005 and
2006) 4 red light is av cable not detected

1) Does the red light only appear on that particular game?

2) When you check the Xbox power cord, what color is the light?

Can you give us the secondary error code?

This can be done by turning on your xbox.

As soon as the 3 red lights start to blink, press and hold the SYNC button.

After that, press (don't hold!) the EJECT button.

The 3 reds light will change to 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 red lights.

Do this 4 times in a row and you'll have yourself a secondary error code e.g. 0110, 0022

The code is for 0 red, 0 red, 2 red, 2 red lights.

As far as I can see at the moment, this is the Red Ring of Dead.

You can either get it repaired by Microsoft or you can buy yourself a new Xbox.

Maybe the secondary error code can change my opnion.
